Biography of Haiguo

. After a pause, he asked again: "Does Ling'er know?" "

"I don't want to tell her."

"She likes you—no, it should be said, she loves you, bastard!" Ye Shi'an cursed bitterly, "Are you blind? You can't tell? You want to make her sad to death ?!"

"Mr. Ye, you have more experience than the younger generation, so you should know... There is no such thing as a person who can't live without someone in this world." Shen Changhe shook his head lightly, and smiled wryly: "Fate is like this, let it be. "

At least, he can save her one more time before he dies, God has treated him well.

———————————————————The dividing line that hasn’t appeared in a long time——————————————————

The night before the final battle.

Tomorrow's battle plan has been deployed, but the sky has not completely darkened.Shen Changhe was about to change into his regular clothes to rest when Li Yunling came in——

She pushed the door open without even knocking, which was totally different from her previous cautious style.He just wanted to say a joke to tease her, but he froze for a moment when he saw her clearly.

With snowy cheeks and pink cheeks, a pair of big watery eyes stared at him without blinking.She was dressed in a white long skirt, which made her taller and taller, but she was inexplicably cute and pitiful.

Shen Changhe looked at her carefully, and joked: "This body is so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize it as you."

"I borrowed it from Miss Chen. After all, I never wore women's clothing before..." Li Yunling lowered her head shyly, "General, my subordinates will officially go to the battlefield tomorrow. Can I buy you a glass of wine tonight?"

Her voice was gentle and mellow, and it was not as clear and clear as a teenager like before, but exuded the unique softness of a woman from the inside out.Shen Changhe raised his eyebrows amusedly, stood up quickly, put on his coat, and strode towards her: "Come on, let's drink!"

The scenery of the Western Regions is not as prosperous as that of the Central Plains, and the towns and cities in the desert have always been sparsely populated, and it was originally silent at night.But tonight, for some reason, the market was very lively: many curly-haired and bearded aborigines came to the street, many people laughed and yelled and ran around, dancing in groups around the campfire An unknown dance.Shen Changhe looked at the unusual excitement in front of him with some doubts, and asked Li Yunling beside him: "Don't you want to drink? This is..."

"The general is considered half a Tocharian, don't you even know this?" Li Yunling said with a smile: "Today is Musheng Festival, a traditional festival of the Tocharian people. It is said that if you pray to the God of Light on this day, something will happen. Oh miracle."

Shen Changhe chuckled, a little disdainfully: "Huh?"

Just about to taunt her about how there are no ghosts and gods in this world, she realized that her sleeve was grabbed by a small hand.Then, the small hand, although very white, which was covered with calluses from years of martial arts practice, held his wrist: "General, may I call you by your name directly today?"

"Of course." When did he ask her to call him "General"?

Shen Changhe held her hand back, looked down for no reason, but found that she was also looking up at him, so he touched his face uncomfortably.Just when he was about to say something, Li Yunling's eyes lit up immediately: "Changhe!"

"Hey." Shen Changhe responded obediently, and was dragged by her to walk quickly towards the crowd in front of him in the next moment.The people of Khotan who participated in the "dance" didn't know him. Seeing the two of them dressed up, they just regarded him as merchants from the Central Plains, and they didn't shy away from inviting them to join them.The sky was dark, and everyone could only recognize each other's faces by the light of the fire, but even so, everyone was in high spirits, and even more and more people joined in later——

At the beginning, Shen Changhe just stood on the sidelines to watch the excitement. After a long time, he felt a little bored, but when he saw that Li Yunling was dancing with great interest but it was not easy to please her, he had no choice but to lean on his chin to act as a dancer. a qualified audience.

But soon, he could no longer be an "audience".A few sharp-eyed young girls in the crowd finally noticed his existence, so they took his hand enthusiastically, and they were still murmuring in Persian.Seeing that he didn't respond, the most beautiful one of them changed to Chinese: "This handsome gentleman, you don't understand Persian? Are you not from our nationality?"

"I'm from Qin." Shen Changhe smiled and admitted it very simply.The girl said "Oh" and smiled again: "It's okay! I like you very much, let's have a dance, shall we?"

"..." Shen Changhe glanced at Li Yunling, who was dancing and laughing with another blond Tocharian boy, and shook his head: "Sorry, I have a partner."

"That's it..." The girl wasn't too disappointed, she still asked with a smile, "Where is the girl next to you?"

Regarding this, Shen Changhe just smiled lightly and didn't answer. Seeing his firm attitude, the girls stopped making fun of themselves.Li Yunling over there finished dancing, and finally remembered the general who was put aside by him, so he ran over and stretched out a hand to him: "This handsome gentleman, may I have a dance with the little girl?" ?”

She imitated what the girl from Gaochang had said before with a vicious taste, obviously she heard their previous conversation clearly.Unexpectedly, Shen Changhe didn't give her a chance to continue mocking, but picked her up horizontally amidst her exclamation, and then walked steadily to the center of the field before putting her down.

The tabla drum was played along with the sound of Hujiaqin, and couples of young men and women faced each other from a distance, but at the next moment they quickly walked towards each other and embraced each other.Li Yunling was hesitating, but Shen Changhe took the initiative to put his arms around her waist, and walked slowly to the rhythm of the music, while whispering in her ear, his tone was a little unhappy: "What are you doing today?" What's the trick? Let me guess—playing hard to get?"

"Shen Changhe, I didn't mean to piss you off." Li Yunling's big, black eyes shone brightly against the firelight: "I'm learning how to dance from that handsome young man, so I can dance with you, a handsome old man. song."

"I'm the youngest." Shen Changhe's tone was very displeased, but there was a faint smile in his pair of green peach blossom eyes: "You can't even dance, so you come here to learn and sell?"

"..." Li Yunling opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.She followed Shen Changhe's steps while dancing, and whispered: "Changhe, did you see that? Those girls in Gaochang are all looking at you, they must be very envious of me."

"Then let them envy you."

"Then... Changhe, you like me, right?"

Hearing her abrupt question, Shen Changhe was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Silly girl, if I hated you, would I still keep you by my side for so many years?"

"But not hating doesn't mean liking..." She muttered in a low voice, carefully tracing Shen Changhe's handsome eyebrows with her big eyes, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in her heart.Shen Changhe felt hairy all over when she looked at him: "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

"Shen Changhe, I like you." She stopped, hugged him tightly under the vast night sky, and buried her head in front of his not-so-broad chest: "I'll spend my life with no complaints or regrets. "

It was originally a very nasty confession, but Shen Changhe could hear the sadness and determination in her voice.He wanted to respond to her confession, but he couldn't say the phrase "me too".

——I am already a dying person, so why let her fall into despair after seeing hope?

It was late at night. After the "dance", everyone sat around the campfire singing and drinking.The song is a folk song from Gaochang, and the wine is "San Le Jiang" produced in Post. It tastes sour and sweet, a bit strange, but not bad.Many young girls have noticed Shen Changhe's outstanding appearance. Women from the Western Regions are always open and bold, so even though he still has a female companion sitting beside him, many people still come forward to strike up a conversation without hesitation; but Shen Changhe has always been just Holding the woman of the Qin clan beside her in her arms, she politely declined all invitations.

After a while, the dancing and drinking Gaochang people also dispersed, and there were only the two of them left before the bonfire.Because there was going to be a war the next day, neither of them drank much, but Li Yunling lay on his lap as if drunk, turning over and over like a silkworm, staring at his face with a flushed face: "Hey Hehe, General, you are so pretty, so pretty..."

He called "General" back again, and it seemed that he was really drunk.

Shen Changhe reached out and brushed her short hair, and said with disgust: "Hey, it's so short."

"Woooo..." Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered these words, Li Yunling burst into tears.Shen Changhe was taken aback by her sudden crying, and hurriedly comforted him: "I'm just kidding, don't cry."

"General, I'm very scared." She clutched the hem of his clothes with tears in her eyes, sobbing, "Will it hurt to die?"

"I said that I will protect you, so you will not die."

Shen Changhe was amused by her timid and fearful appearance: "As for what you said, whether death hurts or not, I don't know. I only know that life sometimes hurts."

"Okay, I believe in the general." Li Yunling muttered again, and finally fell asleep.Looking at the sleeping woman in his arms, Shen Changhe gently stroked the hair on the temples beside her ears, wiped away her wet tears with his sleeves, and whispered as if speaking to himself: "I never know What does it mean to like...but I think, I like you, Yunling."
